Subway is an American restaurant franchise that primarily sells submarine sandwiches (subs) and salads. It is owned and operated by Doctor's Associates, Inc. (DAI). Subway is one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with 37,881 restaurants in 98 countries and territories as of November 7, 2012.

The Thousand Island dressing is thick, creamy, sweet and savory, made with traditional dill relish and onion. The rye bread is freshly baked and is made with unbleached wheat and rye flour and caraway seeds.

As part of SUBWAY restaurants commitment to even better for you ingredients, the Reuben Duo sandwiches contain no artificial flavors or colors from artificial sources.

Subway Introduces New Premium Items

Subway is introducing several premium menu items while speeding up its timeline to serve chicken raised without antibiotics.

At a press event introducing new chicken, turkey and bacon, representatives of the Milford, Conn.-based sandwich chain said the new chicken, which will be introduced to its 27,014 domestic restaurants on March 1, would be its first antibiotic free meat product.

The new rotisserie-style chicken is slow-cooked chicken breast that will be hand pulled in restaurants and available on any sandwich. It’s available at a suggested price of $4.75 for a 6-inch sub and $7.75 for a Footlong. It will be offered along with the current grilled chicken strips, which will be antibiotic free as of April 1, 2016.

The chain is also introducing a more thickly sliced turkey breast and applewood smoked bacon. The turkey will be priced similarly to the rotisserie chicken, and the suggested retail price of the bacon will be 75 cents on a 6-inch sub and $1.50 on a Footlong. Subway will be promoting the two new items starting April 11, with a Carved Turkey & Bacon Sub made with those ingredients on toasted Italian bread, along with American cheese and vegetables, at a suggested price of $5.25 for a 6-inch and $8.75 for a Footlong.

Additionally, the chain announced the introduction of Simply Lemonade and Simply Lays Thick Cut Potato Chips, both of which are made without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

In January 2015, Subway relaunched its chicken without artificial flavors or preservatives, along with a more pronounced chicken flavor and visual freshness cues including pieces of fresh parsley.

The chain subsequently made commitments to remove artificial ingredients from its sandwiches, soups and cookies by the end of 2016.

In October, it set a timeline for moving entirely to antibiotic-free meat by 2025.

The chain, with more than 44,000 locations worldwide, also recently relaunched its logo, changing the colors of the lettering from yellow and white to green. A spokesman for the company said the logo first appeared in December in the chain’s “Founded on Fresh” TV spot.

Fast-food's magic price point — widely regarded as $5 — may be about to jump to $6.

Subway, which created the $5 Footlong deal as a way to entice customers during the heart of the recession, on Saturday will nationally roll out a new value meal twist. This one, dubbed Simple $6 Menu, features six of its core sandwiches that will be sold in 6 inch versions along with a 21 ounce fountain drink and bag of chips for $6.

The subs in the deal:

Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki

Italian BMT

Turkey Breast

Tuna

Black Forest Ham

Meatball Marinara

All of these rank among the chain's 10 best-selling sandwiches, says Pace. The Simple $6 Menu will be available in Subway's 26,908 U.S. locations.

The action comes at a time that competitive value deals across the fast food industry have snipped away business from Subway. While the move does not replace future $5 Footlong deals at Subway, it does add a second level of value offerings to a chain eager to attract Millennial customers who demand value.

Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken in bottom of slow cooker, pour salsa over top, and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours. When chicken is finished cooking, shred with a fork before serving.

To prepare the Melts, top bottom half of hoagie rolls with shredded chicken. Place cheese slices on top and broil in oven until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Top toasted sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, Salsa Ranch dressing, and additional toppings of your choice. Serve immediately.
